Reaktionsschritte

In the process for the preparation of N-acetylphenylalanine by opening the ring of 2-methyl-4-benzylidene-1,3-oxazolin-5-one with water to give 2-acetaminocinnamic acid and subsequently catalytically hydrogenating the latter, both reaction stages are carried out in a mixture of an aliphatic C3 -ketone to C10 -ketone or a water-miscible ether and water as the solvent, and the hydrogenation of the 2-acetaminocinnamic acid is carried out at temperatures of 10° to 50° C. and pressures of 1 to 15 bar in the presence of a supported palladium catalyst.
